You didn\u2019t even know renewal was required.<\/p>\n<p>These are all widespread dilemmas. For example, nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hka.com\/article\/contractor-challenges\/\">40% of contractors<\/a> surveyed by HKA reported that their 2022 projects had been postponed, with reschedules planned. This illustrates the complexity contractors face when trying to maintain consistent licensure and good standing across multiple jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_Licensing_Requirements_Into_Opportunities\"><\/span>Turning Licensing Requirements Into Opportunities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This complexity can present serious risks \u2014 and headaches \u2014 for unwary contractors, even those who work conscientiously to play by the rules. By understanding the main sources of regulatory oversights, being proactive and using appropriate software, however, you can safeguard your company\u2019s regulatory compliance and even leverage licensing for substantial returns.<\/p>\n<p>The following tips can help you change licensing from a source of uncertainty and administrative headaches to an asset that drives profitability and growth.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Have_a_Licensing_Plan\"><\/span>1. Have a Licensing Plan.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Licenses are inexpensive compared to the opportunities they open up. Yet they take time to obtain, and you must generally have your license in hand before offering services. All of this points to the importance of considering licensing early in your business development plans.<\/p>\n<p>If your team sees potential in a new jurisdiction, don\u2019t wait for the opportunities to materialize before tackling the licensing piece. Contractors regularly miss out on seven-figure deals over licenses that cost a few hundred dollars because they couldn\u2019t get licensed in time to capture the opportunity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Deepen_Your_Bench\"><\/span>2. Deepen Your Bench.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Relying on a single qualifier puts your business in a precarious position if anything happens to that individual. It\u2019s important to have additional staff who are already qualified, or preparing for qualification, in the licensure pipeline. It\u2019s also wise to sketch out a plan for next steps, such as notifying authorities and lining up exams, in case you lose a qualifier.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Be_Meticulous_With_Licensing_Paperwork\"><\/span>3. Be Meticulous With Licensing Paperwork.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When entering a new jurisdiction, research requirements and processes thoroughly before beginning any paperwork. Some common causes of license rejections among contractors include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>inadequate documentation of experience<\/li>\n<li>failure to document workers\u2019 compensation coverage or apply for exemptions, as required<\/li>\n<li>failure to follow prescribed steps for testing and licensure (In some jurisdictions, testing comes first; in others, contractors must get approval from their licensing board before taking the exams.)<\/li>\n<li>lack of state-specific language on bond and insurance policies, where required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Maintain_Good_Standing\"><\/span>4. Maintain Good Standing.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to licenses, you must manage all of the filings required to maintain good standing in each state where you\u2019re registered to do business. This includes submitting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harborcompliance.com\/annual-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">annual reports<\/a> to the secretary of state and maintaining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harborcompliance.com\/registered-agent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registered agent service<\/a>. You must also provide notice of any changes in information on record with state authorities, often within 30 days or less. Failing to promptly report changes can jeopardize your licenses and good standing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Audit_Compliance_Periodically\"><\/span>5. Audit Compliance Periodically.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your business is always changing, and government requirements are too. By formally auditing your compliance practices at least annually, you can ensure that your practices are up-to-date.<\/p>\n<div id=\"for-more-box\">\n<p><a class=\"gdlr-button medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harborcompliance.com\/landing-pages\/business-compliance-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\"  style=\"color:#ffffff; background-color:#000000; border-color:#999999; \"  >Suggested Resource: 10-point Compliance Checklist \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Harness_The_Power_of_Compliance_Software\"><\/span>6. Harness The Power of Compliance Software.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If all of that sounds like a lot to track and maintain, it is. The good news is, you can cut the job down to size with dedicated compliance software.<\/p>\n<p>Harbor Compliance\u2019s software, for example, is purpose-built for these tasks.
